Lee Chae Min lit up Manila with a fan meeting filled with humor, heartfelt moments, and unforgettable fan interactions.
On November 23, 2025, the rising star held the 2025 LEE CHAE MIN FANMEETING TOUR “Chaem-into you” at the New Frontier Theater, brought by PULP Live World, VARO Entertainment, Pinnalive, and Merry Go Round.
Recognized for his charm, range, and fast-growing filmography, Lee Chae Min continues to cement his spot as a standout young actor. While fans have enjoyed his performances in High Class, Love All Play, Alchemy of Souls, Crash Course in Romance, See You in My 19th Life, Hierarchy, and Crushology 101, his regal role in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty remains one of his most memorable.
As the venue lights slowly brightened, Chaemin appeared onstage in a clean white outfit while performing a piano rendition of the OST “Stay With Me.” He greeted the crowd with warmth and sincerity, thanking Filipino fans for their overwhelming cheers:
“With your support, there’s nothing I can’t do.”
The actor shared that he was “very thrilled” when he learned Manila was included in his tour—especially after hearing from many people that Filipino fans are exceptionally warm. And true enough, the explosive cheers that greeted him proved every word right.
Eyes, Winks, and Charm Points
When asked which part of his face he likes the most, Chae Min proudly said it was his eyes—especially when he wants to be funny. He even gave fans a playful left-eye wink, instantly sending the crowd into a frenzy.
Professor Chae Min Makes an Appearance
He also shared that he hopes to play roles like a professor or lawyer someday. To bring that dream to life, he put on glasses, held a book and pen, and asked the crowd to scream from the left, middle, and right sections—earning deafening cheers from all sides.
A Tagalog Masterclass
In one of the most entertaining segments of the night, Chae Min learned and recited several Tagalog lines, charming fans with his effort and surprisingly good pronunciation:
-
“Ako po si mini mini Chamin, the bank manager.”
-
“I-check natin ang line-up para sa araw na ito sa Chaemin Bank.”
-
“Guys, ako lang talaga ang hinihintay niyo, ’di ba?”
-
“Guys, anong gusto n’yong mapanood?”
When fans shouted “Abs!”, he laughed and said he wanted to show them—but since there were “babies in the audience,” he would save it for another time.
He continued with more fan-favorite phrases:
-
“Nagkaon ka na ba, Love?”
(Fans screamed even louder when he said it again as “Nagkaon ka na, Love?”) -
“Akin ka na lang.”
-
“Meron ba kayong gustong makita?”
And once again, the crowd yelled “Abs!”—but Chae Min chose to dance instead, despite claiming he wasn’t confident in dancing. When he saw the choreography he had to imitate, he grinned and said, “Hmm… mukhang hindi naman mahirap.” The audience erupted.
Heartfelt Moments & Fan Interactions
Fans were treated to a special VCR vlog showing Chaemin dining at a Tonkatsu Hotpot restaurant with his staff. When the video ended, he surprised everyone by appearing in the audience, dressed in a denim co-ord, serenading fans up close. One lucky fan even handed him a mini electric fan.
The fun continued with the CHAEMISSION Challenge, where Chaemin used facial expressions to act out answers—like leche flan and black chicken ginseng soup. He chose a fan wearing denim (matching his outfit!) to play charades with him, adding more excitement to the night.
C – Challenge
He imitated the viral “Marikit sa Dilim” pose—up to three times—before finally succeeding, making the audience roar.
H – Harmony
Chae Min ate a mystery Filipino food and fans had to guess based on his body movements.
He gave a cute hint… and the correct answer was leche flan!
Someone even shouted “Siopao!” because of the way he pretended to eat, making him burst into laughter.
A fan named Gina guessed correctly, prompting Chae Min to say leche flan was “soft and sweet—just like the Champs.”
A – Acting
Before the third challenge, fans had to guess which food he ate in a scene from Bon Appétit.
The answer: samgyetang.
He also revealed the most delicious treat he had on the show—macarons—and said his favorite scenes were the last two episodes.
E – Exciting
A 60-second game with a lucky audience member.
Chae Min chose Gina (who guessed leche flan earlier), and the crowd screamed when she showed off an impressive split on stage.
M – Memory
To end the mission, he granted three fan wishes—singing “Happy Birthday,” taking selfies, giving warm hugs, and even acting out scenes with fans. His sincerity made the moment especially touching.
During the “Tell Me Your Wish” segment, Chaemin made sure every fan felt loved. From birthday selcas to forming hearts, to the unforgettable moment when he asked,
“Front hug or back hug?”
—fans couldn’t get enough.
He even recreated a famous scene from the Filipino film Starting Over Again, sending the entire theater into kilig overload.
A Message Filled With Gratitude
As the event neared its end, fans surprised Chaemin with a video of heartfelt greetings. Clearly moved, he shared an emotional message:
“You are my motivation and strength… I promise to show you a better version of myself. I’m not sure if ‘I love you’ is enough, but I really love you this much.”
He closed the night with a touching performance of “I Find You,” from the Bon Appétit, Your Majesty OST.
Chaemin left Manila with a promise:
“The time I spent with my Manila CHAEMF is one of the best days of my life… No matter the time and space, I’ll make an effort to find you. Next time we meet, I hope you’re still here. Promise? Salamat po!”
